Sacred Sisters: Gender, Sanctity, and Power in Medieval Ireland - Hagiography Beyond Tradition
Maeve Callan
This book focuses on five saints: the four female Irish saints who have extant medieval biographies (Darerca, Brigid, Íte, and Samthann), and Patrick, whose writings -- fifth-century Ireland's sole surviving texts -- attest to the centrality of women in Irish Christianity's development.
